A translation of the manga adaptation of Eternal Blue Remix. A few changes have been made in the game-comic conversion - read the notes at the start of the translation for details. (Very attractive character art, by the way - if you're a Lucia or Leo fan, I highly recommend this book.)

A translation of both volumes of Hiroko Touda's retelling of the story of Magical School Lunar - very different from the game! Notes are provided at the beginning for the lost...

Also available out there is Seungtaek Choi's translation (the first ever Lunar manga translation, actually) of Younenki no Owari (Childhood's End), a manga set during the epilogue of Eternal Blue featuring the return of Xenobia, a prototype of Faithia/Phacia, and a strange young girl named Alice whom Hiro and Ruby meet. It's available in the manga's entry in the Books section of the Lunar Goods Archive. With the MSL manga done (and Vheen Hikuusen Monogatari over here), all the Lunar manga out there have been fan-translated.

Selections from the Lunar I & II Artbook:

From the bottom of pgs. 82-87; a look at how the plot of the Mega-CD Lunar 2 evolved during production into its finished form. This is from where the Harmony team snatched the Dark Star plotline in the Four Heroes prelude.
(Also, man, there's a lot of graphic Ruby death in here.)

Pgs. 109-111. As, though, the Lunar I & II book was published for in the Mega-CD era (and is set in that continuity), it could not foresee what would become the most burning Lunar question of all, which is: how could anyone write that scene in Harmony of Silver Star between Ghaleon and Day-Glo Jason Voorhees' Lite-Up Halloween mask and think it was a good idea?

Production & World Data Collections:

Translation of a pot-luck .pdf Akari Funato put together containing much of her official, not-for-sale work on the Lunar games - the full-color SD manga series "Lunatic Parade" and "Lunar Carnival"; promo art for the Magic School games; layouts and rough sketches for the bromides Funato designed, including a few scrapped ones; and a good amount of commentary, including some inflammatory but true comments about the EBC cinemas. Information on how to obtain the .pdf is within, should you choose to brave my usually disastrous shopping recommendations that end with the merchant swapping the ISBN numbers or something.

From one of Tokuma Shoten's guidebooks, a short primer on TSS continuity and a look at a few bits of character backstory that didn't make it to the game. Contains a fact about Mel you will never be able to unread.

Published in the 1999 Eternal Blue Fan Book Japanese doujinshi anthology by the GARDEN GARDEN doujin circle. Unscientific, obviously, so don't go quoting this in your "Inventing the de Alkirks: Navigating the Stormy Seas of Interspecies In-Law Relationships" paper or anything.

Eternal Blue: Eien no Omoi - The Japanese version of Eternal Blue's second end credit song ("When I Was Alone" in the Working Designs version). "Eien no Omoi" can mean either "Thoughts of Eternity" or "Eternal Love" in English; the double meaning is probably intentional.

Shawaa o Abiro!! - The title means "Hit the Showers!!", and the song was included as an extra in Lunar Songs 2 and Lunatic Festa 2. It was conceived as a potential "Lunar radio theme song" (probably referring to the CD radio dramas). (The song is much in the vein of Here Is Greenwood's "Greenwood Carnival: Thou Shalt Love Thy Daily Life", if you're familiar with that song (what it was for college, "Shawaa o Abiro!!" was meant to be to game developing, I suppose).)

If you're looking for "Tsu Ba Sa", "Hikari to Kage no Rondo", "Killy Is No. 1", or "Kaze no Nocturne", translations by Garrett McGowan can be found in the Visitor Support section of Janet Losey's Lunar Goods Archive. If you'd like the liner notes from the Lunar Songs series for those titles (and for "Eternal Blue: Eien no Omoi", which I translated from the Eternal Blue pseudo-soundtrack booklet and not from Lunar Songs 2), look here.

One-Page Tsuki no Kokuhaku Doujinshi:

These were scanned from Lunar mangaka Akari Funato's Tsuki no Kokuhaku doujinshi (further samples of which can be seen at this site's dinky pic page). I'm not sure whether these were officially commissioned or just plain doujin works (contrary to my previous statements, I think the Lunar 2 strips collected in the ""Lunatic Collection" .pdf were her actual first official Lunar works). It's interesting, though, to compare this relatively early style to those of Younenki no Owari and Vheen Hikuusen Monogatari. (It's also amusing to note that the character she seems to have the most trouble drawing is Ghaleon.)IMPORTANT: These doujinshi are meant to be read from right to left!

Mia and Nasch I'm usually more partial to Mia than Nasch, but I really feel sorry for Nasch in this one...

Nasch and Ghaleon Personally, I find the little illustrations of Ghaleon in this one funnier than the big punchline joke. (Also, I mistakenly used the Western version of Nasch's name in one of the voice balloons here - sorry.)

Alice and Hiro Alice is the heroine of Funato's Younenki no Owari manga.
